2020 NBA trade deadline discussion

We desperately need some toughness in the paint. My two main targets would be Aron Baynes or Taj Gibson cause they're both lunch bucket types that never backed down from anyone, set great screens, can run the pick and roll and board. The Suns are loaded at center with Ayton returning on the 17th, Kaminski playing well and Diallo also playing well. The best deal I can see is trade Exum and Green for Baynes and Tyler Johnson (Johnson's in the doghouse over there). In the case of Gibson a straight Exum for Gibson. And look I know he can't shoot the three ball but neither could Favors and Oh how I wish we could get him back. Anyway, there's no chance they let Morris go.
 
The point guard that plays to Snyder’s system is Chris Paul ... he plays so well with the big ... and hits that in between shot with ease , he’d make Rudy a beast ...

would OKC do the swap ? Not sure they’d want Conley
 
Here’s something to keep in mind:

Exum and Conley have very little trade value right now, mostly due to their contracts, conleys performance, and exums injury history.
 
Exum and a future 1st round for Markelle Fultz. Salaries line up and Orlando was rumored to be interested in Exum 2 years ago. Fultz has been great for the Magic. I wasn't always a fan, but he's really improved on both ends and could add tremendous value to the back court. Obviously it would initiate some other deals on Jazz players, (Mudiay, Green or ???)

It's very realistic and I like it in theory but I have a sinking feeling that playing for Snyder would give him the yips again.:eek:
 
If we somehow can get one of the PFs from New York then our championship talk could still be on.

Trading Crowder and Korver also weren’t chemistry moves. But, but, but Exum.

Numbers-wise I convinced myself the Crowder to Green maneuver was not a downgrade... But chemistry and just nightly effort and toughness is a struggle right now and I think Jae would give us so much. I really hope DL tried to force Memphis to take Dante in the trade instead of those other guys... the reporting around it seemed to indicate that we didn't offer Dante but I hope it was all lies. I still can't imagine them saying no because I doubt they had a better offer... had we dug in I think they would have accepted still.

Tell me what you think of this...

Conley / Mudiay / Neto
Donovan / Korver
Bojan / Ingles
Crowder / Royce / Booker
Gobert / Davis / Chandler
